HeadBlade Archives

Anyone familiar with HeadBlade knows that every standard HeadBlade model is the basis for a VERY special S4 Limited Edition. This week we are introducing two! They OFFICIALLY go on sale Monday, December 19th but will be pre-released via our newsletter! So sign up for the newsletter, which is located on the bottom of our homepage.

In November we brought you the all-new HeadBlade MOTO, featuring a free flowing ‘track ball’ and dual active suspension. It has lived up to the HeadBlade tradition of creating new and progressive designs that make headshaving even easier! The reviews have been amazing!

We are happy to introduce TWO specific Limited Edition S4 MOTO’s at this time; the S4 MOTO and the S4 MOTO Industrial. They are mechanically identical yet very different beasts.

The S4 MOTO, limited to a run of 3,000 units, fits with our traditional S4 variant of a standard HeadBlade; it is hand polished stainless steel and brings additional weight and torque for an extremely smooth shave. The S4 MOTO retails for $80.

The S4 MOTO Industrial is limited to ONLY 12 pieces and is unfinished, just as it came out of the wax cast. The back edge has been sanded and the unit has been quality tested to make sure there are no rough edges. But other than that, it is UNFINISHED.

Todd Greene, founder of HeadBlade and still lead designer, then used a hand-held engraver to sign his name and number each unit. Todd isn’t a professional engraver (by any means) but you will never see another S4 MOTO Industrial razor. Use it, display it, or save it as a collectors item; up to you! But 12 units will obviously sell out within a day or two. The S4 MOTO Industrial is $125.

The new dual-active suspension and fully rotational ball of the MOTO brings headshaving smoothness to a new level. The MOTO is a new release and has limited availability; full production does not start until January of 2017! So if you want the MOTO; act now!

The original HeadBlade, which is in the permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Art and was also named one of the “Ten Best Designs” in the world in 2000 by TIME Magazine. Over the next decade the HeadBlade evolved into the HeadBlade Sport and spawned limited edition models such as the S4 Classic, the S4 Shadow, the S4 Eclipse, and the S4 Lunar Eclipse.

It is still in production today.

In 2012 we released the ATX which is by far the easiest to use headshaver on the market and is a completely different design than the HeadBlade Sport; it uses the more traditional pulling method favored by most shavers. Even though most HeadBladers favor the ATX over the Sport, there are still a few hold-outs.

Using the knowledge and technology we’ve learned over the past 16 years our mission with the MOTO was to create the ULTIMATE HeadBlade; one that both Classic/Sport and ATX users would agree is the pinnacle of headshaving.

How did we do it? It wasn’t easy and wasn’t fast.

Even though the original was pure and functional there is a fairly steep learning curve. For some people it was just too different.

The ATX was a huge advancement (and a lot easier to use) but the finger ring was a bit unforgiving and the wheels, although functional, caused some issues around the ears and around the nape of the neck. Because the blade did not rotate side to side it was fairly easy to miss some spots, which is common with any razor.

The idea of the MOTO is that the fully articulating body allows the blade to follow the surface of your skin while you drive the razor along your scalp. The blade will pivot both side to side and up and down. The ball allows the oody of the MOTO to be very narrow which allows you to hug along the back side of your ears without impeding the blade. It also makes the unit much easier to hold when face shaving.

In some ways the MOTO is the successor to the ATX like the Sport replaced the Classic. But in creating this new and unique razor we’ve found that it gives as pure a shave as the Sport without any of the drawbacks!

For all you longtime HeadBladers we’re really happy to have you along for this amazing journey since 1999. The MOTO is our newest addition and you have a lot to do with it’s development and our growth as a company.

We hope you have you with us for a long time and promise you our first mission is creating the world’s best headshaving products we want to make you proud to be part of the team

We’ve dropped the HB6 to match the sale price of the HB4, so now is the time to try the upgrade! We’re not putting a limit so order as much as you wish!! Blades don’t take up much space so now is the time to buy!

Look for some exciting new HeadBlade products to roll out in time for the holidays!

When we kicked off the all new HeadBlade Rewards program last month we announced that the long running Ambassador Program would be retired on August 31st. Today we officially closed down the Ambassador Program to concentrate our efforts on making the HeadBlade Rewards Program awesome!!

The most apparent difference is when you log into your HeadBlade customer account and see the “HeadBlade Rewards Program” logo.Clicking on this logo will bring you to the Reward Points dashboard. From here you will be able to track all your points and how to earn more and redeem them for merchandise and discounts! It’s pretty slick!

Earning points is easy! You can build up your points by making purchases, signing up for our newsletter, and becoming more active on the HeadBlade social media pages!

As you amass points, merchandise will become active for redemption. You can redeem for any active product or wait until you earn more when the item values increase! We will also be adding special merchandise not otherwise available for sale on the site. This will be the only way to get those items!

As always, we value your support/dedication and feedback. We’re excited to have this new system in place because it rewards you for being a long time HeadBlader and it also gives you access to special items that will not be available on the main site. So stay tuned, and thanks for being on the HeadBlade team!

Every few years we introduce a new Limited Edition HeadBlade and we’re proud to bring the S4 Lunar Eclipse to market in 2016!

We always include S4 in the nomenclature because it has significance; the “S4″ actually stands for “Signature Series Stainless Steel.” Back in the early 2000’s we had a list of athletes/actors/models/influencers who actively endorsed HeadBlade and we wanted to make a nice permanent ‘jewel’ type razor that elevated the HeadBlade brand and created something even more special. Even though we stopped using the “Signature Series” tag on endorsers (the number of Signature Series HeadBladers became very large!) we kept the S4 name and concept.

We created the first S4 in 2004, then followed in 2009 with the S4 Shadow, and again in 2012 we released the S4 Eclipse. When we introduced the all new ATX we had to make an S4 version of that and dubbed it the S4 Shark. So why would we follow up with a black version of the original design? Simply; demand.

Over the years we’ve had many ‘original’ HeadBladers, who love the Classic/Sport configuration of pushing, instead of pulling, ask us for one more Limited Edition of that model…as they missed their buying opportunity and want another!

Always set with a production run of 5,000 or less, every S4 Edition has sold out within two years. Each has been priced around $100.

The newest S4 Lunar Eclipse is set at a production run of 3,000 and we’ve lowered the price to $74.97 as we will not be offering it wholesale to any other accounts (hence we can lower the retail). It includes free shipping and a free HeadCase. This is for the loyal HeadBlader that prefers the ORIGINAL design over the ATX, and wants a razor handle that will last for many many years!

The S4 Lunar Eclipse comes with a free HeadCase and includes one HB3 blade.

HeadBlade is excited to announce the launch of the HeadBlade Rewards Program where your dollars spent turn into Reward Points.

Get 10 Reward Points for every $1 you spend. The more you spend, the more you earn! As a launch bonus, get 200 points just for signing up to the Rewards program. All you have to do is login to your HeadBlade account or create a new one and you’ll earn 200 points.

Over the years we’ve tried various programs and, with the ever changing technology, we realize the best way to reward our loyal HeadBladers is to allow them to earn points based on many of the social networks they currently use on a daily basis…so there is no longer the need to pass out cards, remember codes, or create ads.

For all purchases made you will get 10 Reward points for each $1 you spend. There will be many other ways for you to earn points but for the launch we have limited it to the following activities!

My dad always said, “When you go out in the rain always wear a rain coat.” This can be loosely interpreted as, “If you own a HeadBlade you should probably have a HeadCase for travel.”

For years we’ve sold the nice soft padded Travel Shell which is great for home and on the go; but it really works best when not under pressure. Kind of like your friend in college who did not do well on tests. This new very durable plastic case holds ONLY the HeadBlade unit and attached blade, so there is no room for freeloaders.

The HeadCase is designed to work with the following HeadBlade models: Sport, ATX, S4 Eclipse, S4 Lunar Eclipse. It does not work with the Shark or Classic. Sorry about that.

Yeah, we know the holiday weekend is here so it’s a bit late if you haven’t already ordered your HeadShade SPF40. But, really this is the just the beginning of SUMMER FUN, so you’ll need protection until that first drop of snow starts falling in October (we jest). It’s gonna be a long hot summer!! So take advantage this weekend by purchasing over $50 worth of HeadBlade products and you’ll get a FREE bottle of SPF40 along with FREE SHIPPING! Now go celebrate. And wear a hat if you don’t have protection!! 😉

Not sure if you saw the movie “Swingers” but it launched the careers of both Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn. It was a great movie and often times Vince’s character Trent would say something along the lines of “You’re so money!” to anyone, especially Mike (Jon’s character).

These money clips have nothing to do with the movie but they do hold money. And if they could talk they’d love to say that (we decided not to embed a chip and speaker as it would drive anyone crazy not to mention drive up costs). If they could see I’d recommend they watch the movie, too.

The black leather money clip and card case has our logo embossed on it while the standard money clip has a nice quality rendition of our logo. Costs are $19.99 and $14.99 respectively.
